Although invented in Scotland in the 1400's, the popularity of
golf was hindered by the need for close-cropped grass.

As the lawnmower wasn't invented until 1831 and only really practical
once the machine-tool industry could cut steel gears in the 1880's, the playing of golf
finally made it to America in 1888, when St. Andrews Golf Club of Yonkers was formed.

Make sure you have a Federation Card or document specifying your
handicap. Many golf clubs in Europe will ask to see your handicap.
